Data batch direct download service (WFS): Risk Prevention Plans (RPP) — Vaucluse (84) — Lot Sheet

This sheet gives access to all localised data relating to the prevention plans for natural and technological hazards in the department of Vaucluse. The major risks consist of the eight main natural hazards foreseeable in the national territory: floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, terrain movements, avalanches, forest fires, cyclones and storms, and the four technological risks: nuclear risk, industrial risk, risk of transport of hazardous materials and risk of dam failure. The Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) were established by the Act of 2 February 1995 on strengthening the protection of the environment. They are prepared by the State under the authority of the Prefect of Department. RPPs are public easements. The laws and regulations relating to PPRNs are codified by Articles L. 562-1 to L. 562-9 and R. 562-1 to R. 562-12 of the Environmental Code. Those relating to PPRTs are codified by Articles L. 515-15 et seq. and R. 515-19 et seq. of the Environmental Code. RPPs are designed to avoid increased exposure to the risks of people and goods and to reduce their negative impact on human lives, the environment, economic activity and cultural heritage. To achieve these objectives, RPPs delineate areas at risk, regulate urbanisation according to current occupation of the territory and the level of danger, and include measures to reduce vulnerability and safeguard existing issues. The RPPs consist of 3 documents: — a presentation report; — a regulation; — a map file containing at least a regulatory zoning, and in general a map of hazards and a map of the stakes, supplemented if necessary by any document enabling the development of the zoning map to be explained. It should be noted that Decree No. 2017-780 of 5 May 2017 on technological risk prevention plans requires the deletion of the presentation note of the (technological) PPRTs from the documents constituting those plans. The map of hazards translates into a geographical delimitation of the territory concerned by the risk in which different danger zones are defined. The map of the stakes translates into a geographical delimitation of all or part of the communal territory in which different areas of land use and different stakes or specific equipment are defined. The regulatory zoning corresponds to the intersection between the hazard map and the stake map. It results in a geographical delimitation of the territory concerned by the risk in which are defined different areas where specific planning and construction rules apply. Each area of the regulatory zoning corresponds to a set of rules detailed in the regulation. Geographic data for natural and technological PPRs in force in the Vaucluse were developed at different periods, using diverse studies and tools. The format of these data, and the final mapping of these data, therefore differ from one RPP to another. The desire to achieve a good level of standardisation of PPR data has led COVADIS to opt for a single data standard, sufficiently generic to deal with the different types of risk prevention plans (natural and technological). The COVADIS data standard for risk prevention plans shall contain all the technical and organisational specifications for the digital storage of the spatial data represented in those plans. It provides a description for a homogeneous storage of PPR spatial data. The PPR data available for download on Geo-IDE has thus been standardised according to COVADIS standards.
